NFL ends Pro Bowl; skills competitions, flag game instead

The NFL is replacing the Pro Bowl with weeklong skills competitions and a flag football game. The new event will be renamed “The Pro Bowl Games” and will feature AFC and NFC players showcasing their football and non-football skills in challenges over several days.

Looks like the Pro Bowl is out, and new "skill competitions" and flag football is in.

I like a comment I read earlier about this: "really looking forward to not watching that, either"

Flag football huh? I guess they want us to preview the league 10 years from now.

You can't blame them for trying something new. Pro Bowl has been absolute ass for the longest time and I've very much enjoyed watching the skills competitions with the different players.

Defense didn't lose the game for them tho. Miami is capable of being a high scoring offense. Bills D actually did a good enough job holding them to 21 points and keeping Hill in check for the most part.

Their offense lost it for them. Everyone thought it was going to be a high scoring shootout, but it came down to defense and mistakes made. Bills should have had far more points, but Miami's D and blitzing pressure caused a lot of key moments to end up in their favor.

Got to give that defense credit, they were on the field 90% of the game and delivered through to the end, while Bills offense was gassed.

I'll put it this way. I entered that game worrying "Is Miami on Buffalos level?" I finished that game with a confident NO.

We'll route them by 13+ next time we play.

I came into the game worried Buffalo would blow Miami out, instead, they were held to 17 offensive points where it counted with all their offensive weapons at their disposal. Got to give a defense that was on the field for 90% of the game credit for stopping the most fearsome offense in the league, as you put it.

You can put up all the yards you want, control all the time of possessions you want, if you don't get it done where it counts, the scoreboard, you have yourself an 'any given Sunday' scenario.

Game time again. Hoping on a Giants win just because.

 

[Sub_Level]

How bout dem boys tho. We really be out here.

Pretty sad that Cooper Rush is better than a guy that made 70 million last year.

He's so good in those chunky soup commercials, tho.

We paid Taysom Hill $140 million to warm our bench and throw interceptions

wow, it feels like his life is a breeze.

[Toytown Assassin]

Don't care who wins tonight I just want a fun game.

 

[12Goblins]

Jesus.. concussion protocols are such a joke really

After last he week he should have benched for probably 3 months

That hit in real time looks so bad and is so excessive. It should be illegal

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Yeah I was stunned they let him back on the field last week. He could be done for good after that hit today. If he recovers at all that is.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I liked how the trainers instantly grabbed his hands/fingers and said "OK, cameras can't see this."

 

[Lunarorbit]

There's no way he should have been playing. Your 3-0 on a short week. Thursday night football is a mistake exactly for these reasons. The league was gonna ask Tua questions TODAY about his injuries, a day after the game.

Fuck this. Stuff like this makes me hate the owners for letting this shit continue to happen. Goddell is just a cover for them. Mike Webster was shaving his gums with a razor instead of a toothbrush and was homeless because of cte. Chris Benoit slaughtered his whole family cause of it.

 

[TheGrat1]

This team is not going to start looking right until we get Trubisky out of there and start Pickett. He is a 28 year old Mark Sanchez transitioning to the journeyman stage of his career before he hits the permanent backup stage. I can only guess how long it will take the staff to see this. We will waste another great defense with crap QB play just like 2019 if this continues.

Quoting my self because, 2 games later, nothing has changed.
We need to get Mitchell out of there. He is the type of QB you win with not because of. I do not even expect Pickett to be instantly spectacular, just to make the routine plays routinely. I can not count on Mitchell to do those things. He does not have the talent, never did. The Bears messed up by overestimating his small sample size in college and drafting him that high. If we redrafted the 2017 draft today he would not be selected until the 5th round.

 

[12Goblins]

Fuck that dolphins coach too and the socalled doctors that cleared him by pretending it's a back injury. Acting like we stupid

Shit like this makes me want to stop watching football

 

[Toytown Assassin]

London game #1 today so it's nearly game time already. Don't care who wins this one. In fact I'd be happy if both teams lost

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Skol, bitch. They need to stop trying to give games away though.

 

[Sub_Level]

Is it fair to say Bill Bellichick has aged 40 years in the past 20 years?

Also HOW BOUT DEM BOYZ.

 

[12Goblins]

chiefs running circles around the bucs lmao

 

[bender]

I hope we see Dak give a Romo like speech soon about how football is a meritocracy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Tom Brady looks weird.

That Lebron AT&T commercial makes no sense.

That other commercial where the family adopts a stray dog pisses me off because they swap dogs and don't think we notice.

NFL camera crew and announcers protecting the league is getting obvious.

Bill's are 4 - 0. Life is good!

 

[12Goblins]

^didnt they lose to the dolphins?

 

[12Goblins]

I feel like every mahomes vs Brady games is always high scoring like this

Except for the sb ;_;

 

[German Hops]

Cowboys are looking like the best team in the league.
It's time to start planning that Super Bowl parade in '23.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Bill's are 3 - 1. Math is hard!

FTFY

Denial is an ugly thing.

 

[drganon]

Matt Rhule sucks.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Bradys getting cucked. AB just posted this:

 

[DeepEnigma]

I think the reason he wanted to get back to football, was due to there being problems at home long before the past couple of seasons. An escape.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I'm sure Tom can find another model. Fucker

 

[12Goblins]

rip

 

[Pejo]

Sorry Gisele, I'm holding out for Bezos' recently re-divorced ex wife. Take a number and have a seat.

 

[spawn]

I'm the only person who voted for the Pats. I will always be a Pats fan till the day I die. Brady or not. We will be the champs again

 

[German Hops]

Brady about to go DiCaprio on that ass!

 

[Toytown Assassin]

It's that time of the year where they stop pretending thursday night football is a thing with good teams and start sending out the trash. Game time in 10.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Of course this terrible game goes into overtime.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Early warning for an extra early sunday game. London game #2 in 30 mins and amazingly it's 2 teams with winning records.

That colts broncos game was one of the worst games I've ever watched. Luckily I fell asleep for most of the 3rd quarter.... Unfortunately I saw the ot

It was a shocker even by Thursday night standards. Sending out 2 shit teams often produces fun games as has happened in many London games. Not this time though. Ending was a perfect fit for the game. Just terrible.

 

[German Hops]

It's almost that time once again...

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Fun game. Wasn't expecting a Giants win at 1/2 time.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

A packers loss is always welcomed.

 

[German Hops]

Oof. The Bills are ripping the Steelers apart!

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

The Bills do not belong in this lesser league.

I can appreciate this form of moxie.

Let's hope they don't get bit by the 4-year curse.

 

[German Hops]

Let's hope they don't get bit by the 4-year curse.

Or end up losing 4 more Super Bowls in a row.
